Installation

npm install mxtoolkit

Usage Example

var mxToolkit = require("mxtoolkit");
var apiKey = '#########################'
var urlToQuery = 'google.com'
    mxToolkit.dns(urlToQuery,apiKey,function(resp){
        console.log(resp);
    });

Each Tool is called by its name as it appears in the list above For example to lookup txt record information the above function would look like this

var mxToolkit = require("mxtoolkit");
var apiKey = '#########################'
var urlToQuery = 'google.com'
mxToolkit.txt(urlToQuery,apiKey,function(resp){
    console.log(resp);
});

The only thing thats different from the first function is this bit 'mxToolkit.txt'.

All of the tools are called in this manner with the same parameters.

The response you get from these tools is always returned in JSON for valid requests and an error message will be returned in case of a failed call due to bad parameters.

Response will look something like this(this is truncated as the actual responses are much more verbose)
